The Races
A great mix of Flat and Jump Racing
Key races feature on each day of the week with the premier days being Wednesday which features the iconic Kerry National, a prestigious jump race with an illustrious roll of honour, and Friday which is Ladies Day and by far the busiest day of the week. It seems like the whole of County Kerry attends!. That said good quality and exciting races take place on all of the days with cards featuring ultra competitive racing. Altogether a fabulous week in a very scenic part of Ireland with much to offer the many vistors the festival attracts each year.
Racing at Listowel takes place in the afternoon and some evenings each day and our recommendation is to attend Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday if you dare - attend all week and you'll be a local !!
